Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Alterations Induced by Amylin in Wistar RatsMohamed Mohamed Soliman, Zein Shaban IbrahimAmylin is a peptide hormone synthesized in β cells of pancreas together with insulin in response to glucose and nutrients. Amylin controls food intake and body weight but the exact mechanism is still unknown. This study aimed to examine the effects of amylin injection on hormones, metabolites and cytokines expression in rats. Wistar rats were injected amylin Intraperitoneally (IP) (10 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 7 Jun 2013 · 6,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntigenic and Immunogenic Components of Haemonchus longistipes Identified by Western ImmunoblotingE. M. El Hassan, Sabry M. El-BahrThe present study aimed to examine the ways that the Haemonchus longistipes components interact with the host by investigating the components of the parasite which acted as antigens during infection and those who are capable of inducing immune response when administered as immunogens. Adult H. longistipes worms (300 females and 200 males) were obtained from the abomasums of naturally infected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModulation of the GABAA Receptor by Srif in Rat ThalamusFatiha Chigr, Mariama El Ouahli, Ghizlane Er-Raoui et al.Somatostatin has been reported to modulate GABAA receptor complex in many brain structures. This study was conducted to investigate somatostatin modulation of the GABAA receptor binding in several rat diencephalic structures, focusing primarily on the thalamus, as this structure plays important roles. Animals were assigned to control conditions. Changes in specific binding of GABAA receptor as labelled with [35S]t-Butylbicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS) … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Purification of Collagenase Enzymes: A Critical ReviewSaid M Daboor, Suzanne M Budge, Abdel E Ghaly et al.Problem statement: Enzymes have vital roles in several industrial processes (foods, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals) due to their highly selective nature and high activity at very low concentrations. Recent efforts to identify new sources of useful enzymes have been concentrated on the marine environment because of the potential to make use of processing wastes. About 35-50% of the mass of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 14,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Toxicity of Extracted Destruxin from Metarhizium Anisopliae Against Citrus Leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrellaM. Mohammadi Sharif, A. R. Hadizadeh, M.A. Tajick GhanbaryProblem statement: The fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin produces some cyclic peptide toxins, destruxins, which exhibit a variety of insecticidal actions. Citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, is a major pest of young citrus trees; therefore its effective and safe control is a important issue. Approach: Five isolates of M. anisopliae were inoculated in Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) mediums. Destruxin was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression, Purification and Activity Assay of Two New Recombinant Antagonists of Fibrinogen ReceptorJianbo Yang, Jia Yao, Kun Yang et al.The gene sequence of Decorsin which is extracted from a kind of North American leeches was synthesized. Two recombinant proteins, Annexin V plus Decorsin (AnnV-D39) and Annexin V plus the carboxyl terminal 27 amino acid residues of Decorsin(AnnV-D27), were constructed. And a 10 amino acids linker peptide of GGGGSGGGGS was inserted between Annexin V and Decorsin in AnnV-D39. Using pET-28(a+) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteraction of a C-terminal Truncated Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein with Plasmid DNA Vaccine Leads to in vitro Assembly of Heterogeneous Virus-like ParticlesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Joanna Poutou, Alexis Mussachio et al.Recently, it has been shown that HCV core proteins (HCcAg) with C-terminal deletions assemble in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) in the presence of structured RNA molecules. Results presented in this work showed that a truncated HCcAg variant covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120) with a 32 aa N-terminal fusion peptide (6xHistag-XpressTMepitope) interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine. Interestingly, the buoyant … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Temperature and pH for Protease Production from Some Bacterial Isolates of Mangrove WatersFeskaharny Alamsjah, Yorasakhi Ananta, Anthoni AgustienProtease enzymes are widely used in biotechnology to produce amino acids and peptides from high molecular substrates, as well as in the leather industry for wastewater treatment, textiles, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, leather processing, and poultry industry.
